Healthcare is something that is used all over the world. In some countries healthcare is free but in America, that is not the case. In New Jersey the cost of healthcare can be between $500-$700 a month, in New York, it is $600. You can even get different types of healthcare, an individual plan just for yourself, a couple plan, a family plan, one that an employer helps pay for, you can have different types of plans, etc.
December 4th, 2024 Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson was 50 years old when he was murdered in midtown Manhattan, Wednesday morning after being shot. The gunman waited for him, he didn’t want to hurt anyone else but Thompson. Thompson was shot in the back of the calf and was in critical condition upon arriving at the hospital, he was pronounced dead at 7:21 am.
December 9th, 2024 Thompson’s killer was found and arrested. 26-year-old Luigi Mangione was arrested for Brian Thompson’s murder facing second-degree murder charges. He was spotted at a McDonalds in Altoona, Pennsylvania by one of the McDonalds workers.
When investigating the crime they found several pieces of evidence that does/doesn’t help Mangione’s case. On the scene of the crime, they found fingerprints/DNA on a water bottle and a KIND bar but that can be coincidental, the next piece of evidence is the weapon used for this murder. Police found a 3-D printed gun with a matching 9 mm casing that was used for the murder that was found at the scene of the crime. The next piece of evidence was the ID he had on him. The ID he had a fake New Jersey driver’s license, among the fake driver’s licenses there were also several other fake IDs in his possession.
As of right now he is going to court and we do not know the final verdict, Mangione has many supporters as well as many haters. As the trial goes on we will see what Mangione will be charged with.
